Popovers

Flipping through ‘Baking with Julia’ this afternoon, i couldnt decide what to bake! Until one picture caught my eye. A popover! Honestly, i’ve never heard of, seen, or tasted a popover before. But it looked so interesting!

Especially when i looked at the ingredients. Just flour, eggs, milk, salt and butter, can make something like that? It’s too simple to be true. But well, it is!

I filled these pleated souffle cups. About halfway. Needs some space to pop! I was kind of nervous at this point – right before putting it into the oven.

The batter was that thin! It got me really really worried. I don’t popovers, not plopovers!

Bake at 425F for 25 mins, oven door closed. No cheating! You won’t regret this 😉

Just couple of minutes into baking, look what i saw! It was like a pregnant woman, about to pop! Hahaha. The right corner of my oven is warmer than the rest. Thats why it “premature” 😛

After 25 mins, it should have popped and nicely browned. Now lower the temperature to 350F and bake for another 15 to 20 mins to dry out the insides.

Tah dah! Popovers 🙂

Look! It’s a chef hat 😀

Love how the insides look.

My first bake from my new book is a success! It’s so simple and fast to make, you can always make some for breakfast. Drizzle some honey over, or sprinkle some icing sugar or melt some cheese over! The possibilities are endless.

I think i would bake it in a taller cup next time! Then it’ll look prettier like the one in the book. Heh. Have fun popping guys 😉

Popovers are delicious! Been making them for years….and actually have an old recipe that starts them in a cold oven. Works too! Nothing is better dripping with butter and honey or a strawberry butter the way Neiman’s serves them. Best thing about having a Neiman Marcus nearby- lunch. And they serve huge hot popovers the second you sit down.

I have some question regarding macarons but can’t find your email address on your blog. I made another batch of macarons using your recipe and they have perfect feet in the oven but as soon as I removed them from the oven, all the feet sank and disappeared. do you know why this is happenning? Do you mind to send me an email at almostbourdain@gmail.com? Thanks!!

thanks for “popping” over to my place….so i could see your place :). Your pop overs came out beautifully. I’ve made them once before, little mini ones. I stuffed mine with strawberries and brie. They’re a lot like yorkshire pudding. YUM
